If the Rev. Sam Small is not more care
full he may make himself the subject of an
indictment by the grand jury. He has been
confeSsing, when warmed up at Missouri
camp-meeting, that in his unregenerate
days he was guilty of the crime of ballot
box stuffing If the issue were prohibition
it might be dangerous to trust the Rev.
Sans suddenly acquired honesty even now.

The presence at Spithead, about to depart
for the East, of five new steel war ships,
manned by Chinese crews and commanded
by Chinese officers illustrates the rapid
progress their country is making in putting
itself in line with other nations in the use
Of modern appliances of war and commerce
The day Inns probably passed when the
great Chinese Empire, with its wealth and
teeining millions can DO imposed upon by
any European power.

The Sailing of Paris.

Ff0Ht The Temple Bar.
In dark and an evil day
Where the sails of our ships outspread:
In an evil and dolorous day
Though the skies were bright overhead
And the green waves laughed to the sands of the
bay,
And the white clouds seaward sped.
And the fifty sons of the King
Came down with shield and with spear
And the maidens followed to sing,
And the children to shout and to cheer.
And the earth was glad with the smile of the
spring
And the strength of the weakening year.
And with oxen and garlands fair
The priests to the affairs came
OF the Gods who are slow 10 spare,
Whose anger is as fierce as fame
Of the gods who have hardened their hearts to
our prayer,
Who are deaf to the call of their name.
For a woman in sable show
Cried Woe for the broken faith;
Aud her speech Is ever of woe,
OF terror aud horror and seattle;
And, Woe for the storm which begins to blow
And the brand which is kindled, she SAITH
In a dark and an evil day
Were the sails of orr ships outspread
Though the city shone golden and gay
As victim whose blood shall be She'd
The city whose homes are a waste to-day
With none to bury her dead.

times whistling sound. especially when

low the alvicc OF an eXpe!i need physi
clan and gargle his throat night and
morning w tn hot and cold water. Have
one tumbler o. hot water. taking the
water hot enough to scald the mouth,
and one tunblcr OF cold water. Gargle
first three times with the hot. then three
times with the cold water. Do this
three times, max ng nine taste with
each. Deafness is often caused by the
hardening of wax in the ear. A great
number Ct people doubtless suffer from
what they believe is incnrable d, afness,
old persons in particular surprising it to
be caused by old age, when il they would
consult good aurlst they would find it
was mercy hardening OF the secretion of
wax in the ears. THIS can generally be
removed by a very simple, painless
operation and the hearing restored.-

She W0uld Rather Run the Risk.

There is law which compels hotel
proprietOrs to have some sort of fire.
escape in every upper story room in
their house. In the Girard House the
style of escapes used consists of huge
rope, with hooks to grasp the window
ledge and a Siding arrangement by
which the guest may lower himself at
whatever speed he will. One of these
is placed in every apartment directly
under one of the windows, and as they
are there for use more than ornament,
their appearance does not enhance the
beauty of the interior.
The other day lady who wished q
room was shown to one of the most ele-
gantly furnished in the hotel. AS soon
as her eye rested upon the fire escape she
turned to the clerk: Twill not have
that thing there" she said, lit is hid
eous." "But it is required by law" he
replied. ''Can't you put it in the
trunk-room at the end of the hall." she
asked. "No, madam, it must be where
you can utilize it at a moments notice. +"
"Well, then," concluded the lady, ~
won't take the room: I'll 20 where they
don't have fire escapes-where the ,aw
is evaded-rather than to have that ugly
thing there to remind me all the time
that may have to swing myself out of
the window TO save my life" And she

HydrOphObla Without a Cau,e.

A few weeks ago Harry Gibson, .
hotel boy in Chicago, was taken to the
insane department of the county Jail,
suffering from malaoy which seemed
at times 20 resem lie hydrophobia. 1t
cannot he ascertained that young Gibson
was ever bitten by dog, either rapid
or Otherwi", yet he snapped his teeth
and growled at people, frothed at the
mouth and in every way gave evidence
Of suffering from rabies. Before Glib
sons removal to the Jail he was cared
for at the hotel and porter named John
Heilland was detailed to watch him.
He would argue with his attendant in
a most rational manner, saying that
there was no necessity fer his being
watched; but the moment the attendant
turned his back Gibson would leap up
on him and endeavor to bite HIM.
After Gibson's removal Heiland was re-
lieved from the duty of caring for the
patient. He went to his room and
spent tire next forenoon in sleep. When
he went to work he complained to his
fellow -porters of being i'll, but thought
nothing serious of it. The day follow
ing. however, he was attacked with the
same symptoms manifested by young
Gibson and became violently mad and
unmanageab!e. lie frothed It the
mouth ami acted like q person having
the hydrophobia, though at times he
was perfectly rational. He declares
that lie was not bitten by Gibson, and
had not been bitten by dog The at
tacks recur at regular intervals each
day. The cases will be thoroughly in.
vestigated.
